Answer: 20 m.
- A 10 m
- B 20 m
- C 30 m
- D 40 m
Correct answer: B. 20 m
Explanation: At ground, vy/vx = tan45° = 1, so vy = vx = 20 m/s. vy = gt → t=2 s. h = ½gt² = ½×10×4 = 20 m.
On a velocity-time graph for uniform acceleration, the slope of the line gives the acceleration and the shaded area under the line gives the displacement.
